i didn't know you can get a citation for spectating. that sucks. haha
how long is the car impounded for if you're caught racing? seems like a money pit waiting to happen... and i'm sure insurance would love to hear the details.

Your car is impounded for a minimum of 30 days, as it is "involved in an active investigation".
And you automatically lose your license, so it would be a while before you'd need to worry about insurance rates.

I don't get it? If they just stop everyone driving down a street. and then pass out spectators tickets, how does that hold up in court?
EDIT: Never mind. I kept watching. They video taped them.

Also, don't they need a warrant to check out your car? Because it isn't 'open'(your hood)

I didn't watch the whole video as it was just too long and boring, but was anyone actually caught racing? It looks like they were just put up a road block and presumed everyone was racing.

I watched the entire video....a racer did acknowledge on the video footage that he did "race." I think it was a sting operation and the police probably saw them racing.

. He admitted on video to racing. A few cars were towed away, but many drove off after being ticketed.
